Sustainable Fashion: How to Walk the Talk
This op shop frequenter says we should all be thrifters - and we agree
We recently discovered Brisbane blogger Hannah Klose and we’re totally in love!
Great style, guilt-free shopping, second-hand finds - she’s everything a girl could ask for in a fashion inspiration. Plus, you’ll never catch her without a tumbler of coffee - reusable, of course.
If your closet could go a bit more eco, here are just a few priceless ideas from this op shop aficionado on how to keep your wardrobe mean, green, and Insta-worthy.
Repurpose your old jeans.
Turn used denims into a cute DIY mini-skirt. You’ll never throw out tattered jeans again. Wonder if we can do that with jeggings, too…
Why buy when you can rent?
When she needed something dressy for a special occasion, Hannah took to Outdress and found herself a winning outfit. How stunning is this sheer little number? Retails for more than $600 versus only $65 to borrow for an entire week, y’all!
Mix and match.
Take the same frock and pair it with a collared shirt or a plain tee. Or wear a short dress tucked under a longer skirt. And voila, a whole new outfit!
And if we can throw one more tip into the mix:
Upcycle with colours.
Take timeless pieces from the back of your closet and breathe new life into them with nature’s hues. Australia is chock-full of seasonal plants to turn your ordinary cloth into wearable art. Best of all, nature’s dyes are free.
